AverageA

AverageA is a mathematical function that returns the average of a group of numeric values, rows, columns, or cells. AverageA includes #missing and #error cells, which are treated as zero values when obtaining the average.

Note:

#missing and #error are included only for rows or columns that are not suppressed.

Syntax:

where arguments is one or more of the following values:

Argument

Description

A numeric value. For example, AverageA(10,20,30) returns the value 20.

Numeric values can include decimals and negative values. See Numeric Arguments.

row, column, or cell reference

A pointer to a row, column, or cell within a grid.

References can be specified in several ways. The reference syntax is: GridName.GridElement[segment(range)].Property. See Row, Column, or Cell Reference Arguments.

For example, AvgA(Grid1.row[4(3:5)] returns the average of grid1, row segment 4, range 3 through 5.

function

An embedded function.

See Mathematical Functions.

Example:

If a grid has four rows with the values 10, 20, 30, and #error, the following formula in the 5th row returns the value 15: 

AverageA([1:4])
